ABANDONED. Non-fiction: Business Improvement by focusing on "cornerstone activities" (e.g., workplace safety vs. tackling all issues at once) to solve a series of problems.

I read this book sometime around 2012-2016.

The author propagated the idea of "cornerstone tasks" to solve a series of problems in a business.

As an example, the author made reference to a manufacturing company that was battling with various problem including low staff morale, productivity, efficiency, absenteeism and profitability, among others. The new CEO having assessed this situation chose to concentrate "safety of workplace" as a singular target.

This target then set subsequent activities in motion, creating a domino effect in the business, all geared towards improvement of safety.

Before long, this "cornerstone approach" (as opposed to tackling all issues at once) yielded the desired results and the company turned around.

If anyone else has read this book - would appreciate letting me know the name of it.

Samiul, I added genre and some plot details to the topic header. Feel free to update it by clicking the small “edit” link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website – not the Mobile website or app.
